posting this on its own because I'm obsessed with The Couch Potato watching M*A*S*H (*E*D Potatoes)

the other shows are cute too but I'm a simple soul and the unexpected MASH reference made me laugh

The cat in this book has problems. I mean, they’re not horrible problems when we look at them from our point of view, but to the cat, not good at all. I mean, why does the sun beam have to keep moving? Or the squirrel, c’mon now squirrel. And then there’s the vacuum. The horrible horrible vacuum.

It’s a typically awesome Jory John picture book, and, I didn’t realize that there are two other books by him and in the same vein, Penguin Problems and Giraffe Problems, so, a definite woo hoo there!

Giraffe Problems by Jory John and Lane Smith

This was the perfect combination of funny and touching and cute. Excellently illustrated, quirky and sweet and with a message, Giraffe Problems was everything I'd hoped for from the Bad Seed series, but didn't quite get.

I loved all the ways Edward thinks of to hide his neck. And I love the collection of creatures looking on in.
